Hello ya c***s!
I know it’s been a while. It’s been a while since I could really get myself in the right mood and listen to the good stuff like it was 1989. If you know me, you’ll know I’m none the wiser anyway. Let’s start.
Entombed crushed me, Dismember enthralled me, but there’s 2 Swedish DM bands that literally showed the path I have never abandoned since. One was TIAMAT, whose debut Lp had me rocked with the lullabies of the Ancient Ones, and the other was GROTESQUE. “Incantation" hit hard.
Like, REAL hard. I was 16 when the mini album was released and the day I saw it at the local record shop was the day it came home with me. It was real, it was dangerous and what’s with that dude with the weird robe and glasses? They were not fu***ng around, you could tell. The music was equally menacing, otherworldly, demented Death Metal so very much separated from the rest of their peers. You could tell them apart. All of a sudden in 1991, I heard through word of mouth, that GROTESQUE were not more but fear not, not just one but two bands were spawned from its ashes:
LIERS IN WAIT released a minialbum that was just as intense as it was weird. F**ked-up time frames, a drummer who would never sit comfortably on a simple beat, and Great Chtulhu still mumbling its long forgotten Spells in R'lyeh. It was obviously great music but it ended nowhere unfortunately.
But, before that, AT THE GATES came. And kinda reclaimed the Swedish Death Metal throne. “Gardens of Grief" was the debut Ep, and it was stellar. It had excellent songwriting, and a dark, menacing mood to it. Not as evil as GROTESQUE though, nothing can top that.
It’s just been a couple of days since Tomas Linberg passed. I have never met the man, I don’t have memories to share if not what the fan wrote so far. Sit tibi terra laevis, Tompa. I wish I was 16 again and listen to those masterpieces for the first time again.

On a side note, Embury and young Cavalera just released a split album of dark ambient/industrial music which you should try. It’s good.

NEWSFLASH – CONTINUUM OF XUL
Iron Tyrant Records is now announcing the vinyl release of “VORATORE", Continuum of Xul's debut full length effort.
While undoubtedly influenced by monster bands such as Deicide, Morbid Angel, Immolation and the likes, Continuum of Xul definitely prove to be more than just copycats, as testified by the great reviews the album got when it was first released on CD some months ago through our friends at Unholy Domain Records.
Tracks like “Hellspawn In Aeternum”, “No Praise For Your Saviour” or “Yawning Void Of Naxyr” speak for themselves, reaching quasi Death Metal perfection with intricate riffing fury and aggression, all the while maintaining the gusto that every true DM fan always looks for.
This vinyl version is released in a limited edition of 150 on black vinyl and 100 on splatter red/black.
